Haridrakhand Powder

Haridrakhand is a classical Ayurvedic polyherbal formulation primarily used for managing allergic conditions, skin disorders, and respiratory issues. At its core is Haridra (Curcuma longa), known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic properties.
The synergistic blend of Triphala, Pippali, Marich, Vidanga, and other ingredients supports detoxification, improves skin tone, and balances Kapha and Pitta doshas.
Enriched with Ghee (Ghrita) and Milk (Dugdha), it is deeply nourishing and enhances bioavailability of active ingredients.
